INSTALLATION MANUAL
CA-ETHR-A
TCP/IP Module
1] INTRODUCTION
The CA-ETHR-A TCP/IP module serves as an interface between a device that uses serial
communications (serial device) and a Local Area Network (LAN).
By connecting serial devices to the TCP/IP module, the serial devices can communicate with
other devices over a LAN using the IP protocol through a TCP data channel.
Although optimized for use with CDV Group products, this module can be used with other
serial devices. Below is a list of some types of serial devices that are supported:
- Centaur CT-V900-A controller
- Time and Attendance Clocks and Terminals
- Security and alarm systems
- CCTV equipment
